Hi all
As we are still musing over some of the errata from the past couple of
weeks, it's probably a good idea to have an easy week of Yes/No
(Fix/Reject) rather than thorny rules problems. So here's a series of
ad-hoc issues that should be easy to reach a consensus on:
THE CAPTIVES OF KAAG
(??) 1: "You will have 48 hours in which to complete your mission. If,
after the two days have elapsed, you have not returned, Rimoah will be
forced to assume that you and the Guildmaster have perished. The dust
storm will not last for more than two days, after which time there is a
grave danger that the Skyrider will be spotted and attacked by the Kraan
and Zlanbeasts which are known to patrol the skies around Kaag.
[DED: I'm not sure what we could realistically do about his one, but in
section 309 it states that ""A coal-black curtain-wall constructed of
massive blocks of smooth, featureless stone, encircles this city, forty
miles wide. At its centre there arises a gigantic citadel of black
marble, pyramid-shaped and slitted with numerous vents to allow what
passes for air to circulate within. Its highest point towers two miles
above the desolate plain."" This implies that Lone Wolf has to walk at
least 40 miles plus ascend 2 miles in the air to complete his mission,
all within 48 hours. I know that he's a Kai Grand Master, but this seems
to be a bit optimistic on Rimoah's part! Still, Lone Wolf manages it so
I guess I should stop complaining ;)]"

====================================
THE DEATHLORD OF IXIA
(er) 14: "a horde of undead warriors leap -> a horde of undead warriors
leaps [LeRoy McSwain, Mar 2007]
[TP: Disagreed. Nouns like 'horde' are often interchangeable between
singular and plural forms, depending on whether they are construed as
being 'a group treated as one entity' or 'a number of...' (cf. 'some',
'lots': 'some of my friends are coming', not 'is coming').]"

(er) 60: a trio of crackling bolts come -> a trio of crackling bolts
comes [LeRoy McSwain, Mar 2007]
<http://www.projectaon.org/test/en/xhtml-less-simple/lw/17tdoi/title.htm#sect60>
(er) 64: "The trio of ghastly creatures press -> The trio of ghastly
creatures presses [LeRoy McSwain, Mar 2007]
[TP: definitely disagree. 'Trio', and more especially 'score', are
essentially construed as alternative ways of saying 'three' and
'twenty'. 'A trio of performers is here' could pass, but 'a score of' or
'a dozen performers is here' definitely wouldn't.]"
<http://www.projectaon.org/test/en/xhtml-less-simple/lw/17tdoi/title.htm#sect64>
(er) 114: "the horde falter -> the horde falters [LeRoy McSwain, Mar 2007]
[TP: Disagreed. (See S14 for details.)]"

(er) 196: a row of pillars topple -> a row of pillars topples [LeRoy
McSwain, Mar 2007]
<http://www.projectaon.org/test/en/xhtml-less-simple/lw/17tdoi/title.htm#sect196>
(er) 209: "A score of undead have -> A score of undead has [LeRoy
McSwain, Mar 2007]
[TP: Disagree (See S64)]"
